Bloody ell, meant to post this on international break when it was boring and I know there's loads of players!

(Remember just post one until a few have posted 😉)

Leeds City football club were expelled from the Football League in 1919 for financial irregularities. At the time they were managed by ex Blades player, Herbert Chapman, who later won the league title twice managing Huddersfield before moving on to win more trophies at Arsenal. Leeds United replaced them in the Football League in 1920.

Billy Gillespie played for Leeds City before moving to us.

The irregularities were illegal payments to players. Years later Don Revie was accused of using Bremner to bribe opposition players to throw matches. An allegation made by the Team goalkeeper Gary Sprake. The FA shamefully swept it under the carpet as Revie had been England manager causing Sprake to be castigated and shunned by his former team mates.
